Homemade canned cranberry sauce

[Anonymous]

This is OP. We received it as a gift, and I thought it was a nice idea since I already can so many things. The giver couldn't/wouldn't share the family secret recipe, so I thought I'd ask here. Anyway, I appreciate all the answers.

It is a jam and can simply be processed in clean jars, in a pot that can hold the jars and enough water to cover the tops by 1". Boil for 15 minutes or so, then remove the jars and let cool and seal overnight.

Canning isn't like cooking. Do not "adjust for taste". Please follow the recipe instructions exactly, paying attention to maintaining clean conditions and timing your procedures accurately. If you follow a tested recipe, your results will be shelf-stable and safe to consume. If you don't use a tested recipe, your results could contain pathogens you may not smell or taste but they can really mess up your day!

Cranberries are too acidic, it won’t grow dangerous pathogens

I agree. There have been any number of times when I have stumbled on a great deal on fruit and canned it using water bath with no problem. There's also a property near me where they let me take windfall apples and I will can applesauce made from them (I let the applesauce stay pretty chunky and it's great by itself, on waffles, as a pork side, or with plain yogurt.) I would only do that with fruit and tomatoes, though. And you can always add a little lemon juice to make it more acidic.

Well people inject botulism into their face (Botox), why not just eat it directly? I wonder if it will make us younger and wrinkle free. . .

Riiiiiight. Why trust a scientifically tested recipe when you could trust some rando on DCUM? You know just as much as those scientists. They just like to, I dunno, waste people's time and trouble, I guess? Please make sure you share your "renegade canning" strategy with anyone invited to eat your improperly-canned goods

Many people get sick from not canning things properly. It’s a rational thought. Your though process on the other hand is lacking.
